jan 1, 1915 - Cities in Evolution [PUBLISHED]

Description:

Scottish sociologist Sir Patrick Geddes, a pioneer in the field of urban planning, published the book Cities in Evolution. Geddes pushed for "constructive and conservative" changes to improve a community, rather than sweeping, monolithic plans, which he believed was less destructive to neighborhood life and would do a better job of preventing congestion. He also promoted observation of communities based on the scientific method and civic surveys.
